About This Product

Scotts Turf Builder Southern Triple Action is a 3-in-1 formula for Southern grass types that kills listed weeds, prevents and kills fire ants, and fertilizes your lawn. This product controls dandelion, dollarweed, clover, oxalis, plantain, chickweed, and henbit. It prevents and kills fire ants for up to 6 months, while also preventing armyworms, fleas, mole crickets, chinch bugs, sod webworms, and ticks. Lastly, the added fertilizer feeds and strengthens your lawn against Southern stresses like heat and drought. Scotts Turf Builder Southern Triple Action is for use on St. Augustinegrass (including Floratam), Centipedegrass, Zoysiagrass, and Carpetgrass. Apply when weeds are actively growing. We recommend using a Scotts spreader to apply this product. For Scotts broadcast/rotary spreaders, use a setting of 4 ¼. For Scotts drop spreaders, use a setting of 8 ½. The product must be watered in immediately after application. Do not allow people and pets to re-enter the treated area until watering-in is complete and the surface is dry. One 26.64 lb. bag of Scotts Turf Builder Southern Triple Action covers 8,000 sq. ft.

      After you mow how long should you wait to apply?

      Answer This Question

      Hi Stace! Thanks for your question. Mowing before applying Scotts Turf Builder Southern Triple Action does not affect the application. If the lawn is tall, it is best to mow before the application. This product should be watered in immediately after the application. Once the lawn is dry, it can be mowed.

                This product works very well specially if you have patchy yards or very bad grass I use this product in my front line. One bag did the trick now y’all looks much better and has a very professional look. I highly recommend you try it. This product works really well in the summertime. It takes a few weeks for the product to actually start working, but it doesn’t take a lot of water.

                Good for Zoysia, Not Fescue
                The Turf Builder Southern Triple Action killed sections of my lawn that were fescue. Half my lawn is Zoysia but I didn’t expect this product would kill healthy sections of fescue.

                I buy this product every year to help kill weeds and grow a strong and beautiful lawn. It is an added bonus that it works so well to prevent ants and reduce our crane fly (mosquito hawk) population in our yard.

                Turned grass brown
                I applied this to my St. Augustine yard, and a week later the grass is turning brown. I'm so disappointed as I will likely have to spend a lot more money to re-sod the yard before my HOA starts fining me. I absolutely do not recommend this product, unless you are willing to gamble on redoing your yard.

                  Works great!
                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This three in one Scotts® Turf Builder Southern Triple Action product works great! It kills all the weeds that I hate having in my lawn. (Specially the dollar weed and clover. Plus it kills fire ants and prevents a bunch of pests like fleas, mole crickets, chinch bugs, sod webworms, and ticks. Lastly my favorite part it has a bunch on Nitrogen to feed your lawn. What more can you ask for.

                    Easy to use and saves buying multiple products
                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product shares the same ease of use and results as the standard bonus s, but has the added benefit of not having to get a separate bag of bug treatment. Also nice in that i like to apply my fertilizer and bug treatment at the same time so i only run the sprinklers once, but this product means i dont have to walk through the first product i put down multiple times.

                      Great Product for a lush lawn
                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] **5 Stars ** I’ve been using Scott’s Turf for a couple of seasons now, and the results are always impressive. Within a couple of weeks, my lawn looks noticeably greener and thicker, and those stubborn weeds (especially dandelions and clover) start disappearing fast. It’s easy to apply and really does what it promises—feeds the grass while killing the weeds. I get compliments on my yard all the time now. Highly recommend for anyone looking to get their lawn in top shape.
                      by
                        I apply this to my property every year and I get compliments on my lawn because of it. I previously paid for professional lawn treatment and fire ant removal. Scotts Triple w Fire Ant killer works way better and for far less money. I’ve saved hundreds of dollars.

                        Great Stuff!
                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We always go with the southern triple action as it tends to prevent most of the most common weeds we get each year and always leaves our grass with enough food to last till the next treatment. Definitely pick this one up.
